great pics man,
searched the area for a bit but never did find the antler, probably because of the amount of snow(not much but enough to maybe bury a smaller antler).
ever heard the phrase "like looking for a needle in a haystack"[:-],i have never hunted sheds in the snow but it would seem to me you would be better off with a complete blanket of snow, from the looks of things you shouldn't have any trouble findin horns later

, again great pics, reminds me of the area i hunted on the sask/manitoba border, right outside of russel manitoba
